"Due to a knee injury, he hadn't pitched since July 12 in the MLB Futures Game, when he allowed four earned runs in 0.2 innings. His last start in the Minor Leagues came on July 3 with the Knights, a four-inning outing with four earned runs. Schultz, 22, was expected to pitch about two innings on Sunday, and that turned out to be the case."
"Throwing 37 pitches, he allowed two hits, one unearned run and zero earned runs while striking out four batters and walking none. The 6-foot-10 left-hander struck out the first batter he faced on a 3-2 slider, and the next batter lined out sharply to left field with a 100.4 mph exit velocity off Schultz's slider. Schultz left a slider over the plate in the third at-bat, and it was hit up the middle for a single."
"The second inning began with a fielding error by Schultz, who gave up a single in the next at-bat. Schultz's changeup got past the catcher for a wild pitch, putting runners on second and third base. A fly ball in the following at-bat was enough to bring home a run on a sacrifice fly, giving the Norfolk Tides a 1-0 lead."
Noah Schultz, a 6-foot-10 left-hander, returned to action for the Triple-A Charlotte Knights after a knee injury that sidelined him since July 12. He threw 37 pitches across roughly two innings, allowing two hits, one unearned run and zero earned runs while striking out four and issuing no walks. Schultz showed a fastball topping 96.8 mph and used a sinker, slider and changeup, including a 3-2 slider that produced a first-batter strikeout. A fielding error and a wild pitch contributed to the lone run. Schultz’s 2025 season included strong Double-A results, a tougher Triple-A stretch, and injury time missed.
